Looking forward to that :) It is very important for us that you tell us what you think, what you like, what do you want to see change and so on.

@Everyone saying there should be a client:

The current game client is written in Java, which is a programming language that can be used to create standalone applications. HTML5 is not a programming language as such, it only runs in browsers. If they were to create a downloadable client for it, they would essentially be creating a browser, their own version of Chrome or Firefox or whatever minus a few bits of UI like the address bar. There would be no point.

What you can do is create a Chrome Application Shortcut which will give a similar experience to using the current Java client, but still running in Chrome. There's a guide on that here .

Hold on for a second :P . Is the great content Mod Mark said you'd be releasing coming with the beta already or will it be purely HTML5 testing by the players without any other content features?? Just wanted to know if you'd be giving some content teasers or beta's lol. I would really like to know what you've got scheduled :O . Not addicted but committed

The beta starting tomorrow will just be the HTML5 client. It's running on the live servers, so it'll only have everything that's on the live servers currently, no extra content. There will also be an alpha for the new interface system starting next week (running on dedicated beta servers similar to the EoC beta, NOT on the live servers), and there may be other betas in the future to test said new content, but that hasn't been confirmed.

Having quite a low end PC the client provides me with stability and allows me to have better graphics than on the browser, however it was said that there won't be a HTML5 client which disappoints me as I was really looking forward to it :(

EDIT: Just Daern's post, thanks for the info! Gunna look at getting that set up tomorrow!
